  • Anyone seen these:
    http://www.webcyclery.com/product.php?productid=18603&cat=336&page=1

    $70, track and mtb widths.

  • Designed for trials so pretty tough I'd imagine. Designed for use with a freewheel at the cranks (popular trials set-up), so no thread for lockring.

  • Spotted these:

    They must be pretty new as I'm on this site, satisfying my carbon/titanium/ceramic fetishes, all the time. Cheap for a freehub style SS hub. Shame it doesnt have the 120 pick-ups of their superleggra hubs though.
    £59.99

  • Not having much luck UTFS for this one:

    Apart from getting a set of custom drilled Goldtecs does anyone produce an off the peg 48H Fixed/Fixed Hub? AFAIK the Velocity ones are Fixed/Free from the info on their site.

    Thanks for the info, seems like they were a limited run, have emailed their distributor in the UK to se if any made it over here.... fingers crossed

  • Profile do, and their new rear hub has a toughened chromo axle as well, should stand up to a good amount of abuse.

  • Well i'm sure both Mack & Gromada could custom drill me a set, but so can Goldtec, Pauls, Phils & Royce, not really what i was trying to find.

    The Quandos seem not to show a locknut thread on the picture so that would mean that at best they are Fixed/Free and at worst only designed for freewheel, i'll enquire...

  • Do you want it for tricks yeah?

    If so then Profile/Goldtec, or Shop 14's new Hub, which is very nice by the way!

  • I want it for polo, one fixed side to get to the court, flip it over to the other fixed side to play.....

  • My recommendation stands, any of the three brands there will stand you in good stead, although I think the hub-shells on the profiles are thicker than Goldtecs, so may stand up to impacts from other bikes etc better, so I would say profiles or Shop14's new hubs are the way to go.

  • Well done you guys.....its given me the idea to add a 48-hole hub section to the list.

    I'll add it tonight, possibly.

    Sorry for the short post, I had to shoot off for lunch. I was actually going to add that someone like CrazyJames might be better placed to offer help :)

  • I wouldn't have bought profiles before because the old axle was weak as fuck, and people were snapping them left right and centre, but the new one looks excellent, goldtecs are good, but shop14's hubs are basically an expansion on the goldtec design with everything beefed up where it needs to be for tricks, i'm pretty sure Ted designed and tested them quite extensively too.
    However, my Goldtecs handled an amazing amount of abuse without so much as a whiff of wear and tear, they are more than up to the job, so I can't complain!
    Not many track-hubs would handle the kind of abuse I dish out, and Ted was rocking Goldtecs for a year or so with no problems.... :)

  • I just need a human to quickly confirm that I'm not going out of my mind....

    ... to take a lockring off a fixed hub you unscrew it clockwise right?

    As in the way the hands go round a clock?

  • Yes.

  • Cheers... now back to work :(

  • Also with Goldtecs and Profiles they both take the Profile Lock-ring, which is the most ridiculously beefy lockring that I have ever seen.....ever!
    Never slipped on me once, after god knows how many stair-set drops, Brakless skids, wallrides, etc etc.

  • I know this isn't the place, but I'm going out of my mind....

    ... to take a lockring off a fixed hub you unscrew it clockwise right?

    As in the way the hands go round a clock?

    Yes. As in the direction the chain would travel when cycling (ie. not the way you'd want your sprocket to loosen). Hugo7, maybe you should inspect your threads and then grease before replacing the sprocket/lockring.

  • Shop 14's new Hub, which is very nice by the way!

    CrazyJames do you have a contact number for the shop, i've emailed them but not heard back from them, time is tight here, if i reply to the Soma distributor about 48H Somax hubs in the next few hours then i can get them in their next shipment, if not it won't be for about 5 weeks..

    The Soma hubs work out at £100 a set, any idea what the Shop14 48H hubs are costing...? or even the 48H goldtecs...?

  • ignore that. wrong numbers

  • ALL-CITY hubs added

    I found these whilst randomly browsing today.
    any help for the list?
    I know you've got them listed in BLB, but this guy seems to have a set.
